"The recognition from Cisco is an endorsement of our highly skilled, committed and loyal employees who deliver and manage complex technology solutions and services for our clients," commented Brett Dawson, CEO, Dimension Data.

As part of a global company, this teamwork extends beyond our borders. Our global awards not only recognize the value propositions we win with locally, but they also demonstrate our ability to deliver on a global scale. This is just one example of why all employees at Dimension Data have every reason to be incredibly proud today -- and every day."

The Cisco awards not only reflect Dimension Data's strong growth and commitment to IP Voice, but-more importantly -- they recognize its strong customer satisfaction in each of these areas:

The IP Communications Awards encompass both IP telephony and contact center and demonstrate Dimension Data's ability to deploy these solutions on both a global and national scale. This is the second year in a row that Dimension Data North America has received this award. In addition to doubling revenues in IP communications over the past year, Dimension Data North America managed to maintain high scores for customer satisfaction over this same time period: an incredible 4.8 out of 5.

The Outstanding Advanced Technology Performance Award recognizes the efforts of several of Dimension Data's practices: Converged Communications, Security, Wireless, Data Center and Professional and Managed Services. Advanced technologies are technologies at the beginning of the adoption curve that demand both experience and expertise to deploy successfully. Dimension Data's strong growth in this area demonstrates that the company has both the skills and the track record to perform.

The Enterprise Awards illustrate Dimension Data's ability to meet the needs of enterprise and multinational clients. The company's global value proposition provides these clients with extensive procurement and logistics capabilities combined with proven experience and a track record for meeting their unique requirements. Dimension Data's go-to-market strategy with enterprise clients and strong customer base are enabling growth in this key market segment.

In addition to the aforementioned awards, Dimension Data also received the following global awards: APAC (Asia Pacific) Partner of the Year and Emerging Markets Partner of the Year--as well as numerous regional and theater awards, including several for customer satisfaction and security.
